Damn, John Cena's New War Movie The Wall Looks Intense

After spending 2015 in fun comedies like Trainwreck and Sisters, it really seemed like John Cena was well on his way to becoming the next member of the WWE pantheon to find crossover success at the box office. Unfortunately for us, Cena has spent much of 2016 away from movie screens, and cinema has been poorer for it. However, it looks like our long Cena drought is finally coming to an end early next year, thanks to this intense-as-hell trailer for The Wall, a thriller Cena co-stars in with Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Directed by Doug Liman of The Bourne Identity and Mr. and Mrs. Smith fame, The Wall casts Cena as one of two American soldiers in the Iraqi desert who are pinned down by a sniper, with nothing but the titular—and barely standing—wall between them. There's enough to make you nervous in a two-minute trailer—two hours of this in a movie theater is probably gonna mess you up. And Cena has to spend the movie face down in the dirt, because he gets shot early on! Honestly, it's kind of off-brand for him, since his whole thing is about how no one ever sees him coming. But I appreciate his efforts to broaden his range.
